I have followed everything in the wiki and I have the latest version of wxMSW Installed however Code::Blocks fails to compile at wxScintilla. Here is the error:
-------------- Build: scintilla in Code::Blocks ---------------
Linking dynamic library: devel\wxscintilla.dll
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw28u
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 2 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings
I'm assuming that this is something to do with wxMSW 2.8.7. I have compiled as said and entered it in to the Global Variables.

Well, i've just correct this on my C::B project. The reason is that linker cannot find library "wxmsw29u" ( or "libwxbase28.a" ). And my problem was in global variable "wx" (You can find it in [Main Menu] /Settings/Global Variables. Lib directory must be exactly "wxdirectory/lib" (for example mine is "D:\cvs_projects\codeblocks\wxWidgets2.8\lib". DO NOT USE "wxdirectory/lib/gcc_lib", because in build options (linker search path) of the project this directory is extended with option "$(#WX.lib)\gcc_lib$(WX_CFG)"

What is the value you entered in for wx as the Global Variable.
Mine is F:\SourceCode\Libraries\wxWidgets\wxMSW-2.8.7
This folder contains an sub-directory called lib and under that is a folder called gcc_dll.
Inside the folder gcc_dll is a file named libwxmsw28u.a and an DLL to go with it.
Do you see the file named libwxmsw28u.a?

Excuse me if I'm wrong (I'm also new here), but as I see the problem is about building C::B using C::B for this (see "[cvsdirectory]\trunk\src\CodeBlocks.cbp"). I have a similar question posted here, but with linker problem. :oops:

My Base path is: C:\wxMSW-2.8.7
Lib path is: C:\wxMSW-2.8.7\lib
Include path is: C:\wxMSW-2.8.7\include
And yes, libwxmsw28u.a exists.
I don't know what else could be wrong >_<

Try to use whole path to libwxmsw28u.a in Project Bulid Options\Linker Settings tab\Link libraries list as :
C:\wxMSW-2.8.7\lib\gcc_lib\libwxmsw28u.a
instead of "wxmsw28$(WX_SUFFIX)"
And if its all ok then the problem is with "wx" global variable. But if you have the same problem again i cannot help. Good night now !

Wait a minute, actually that file doesn't exist! What can I do to get it?(sorry about misinforming you earlier, coulda sworn i saw it)

You need to compile wxWidgets to create the file named libwxmsw28u.a

The last ")" is missing from link.
Correct link is : http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.8.6_to_develop_Code::Blocks_(MSW) (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.8.6_to_develop_Code::Blocks_(MSW)).
